[quote=Anonymous]6th graders can and do walk home on their own. If she is responsible, you could get her a simple phone she may have access to. Lots of parents are either WFH or are in the office part-time at our school. Sometimes the parent may be home, others not. If your child is responsible, it can work. If you would prefer to put her in activities a few days per week and see how she does on her own the other days, that may be a good compromise. The families who choose aftercare every day in MD typically have multiple children on separate campuses, live 30-60 minutes from school and/or are in office most of the time. DH and his sister were latchkey kids at 10 & 9 and around 6th grade I stayed home alone for about 2 hours until my parents returned from week a few days per week. [/quote]
